A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry said in an announcement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
